本文从一项更大的定性研究中分析了四个家庭中孩子和父母之间的家庭背景和围绕风险、安全和危险的日常谈判。报告强调了分析几个家庭成员的账户所面临的挑战。描述了案例研究家庭；概述了他们相互交织的个人和共享传记的片段，受访者经常在这些传记上获得与风险有关的合法信仰和做法。讨论了日常家庭生活中风险构建和重建的动态性、流动性和偶然性，并探讨了三个主要主题：确定“底线”；围绕年龄、兄弟姐妹身份和时间的假设、串通和矛盾；以及将他人行为中的风险与背景联系起来。两位作者的结论是，与童年本身一样，将“风险”置于社会经济、文化和体制框架内也很重要；对大多数儿童来说，他们的家庭既构成了一个这样的背景，又调停了更广泛的社会结构。
This article presents an analysis of the family context and everyday negotiations around risk, safety and danger between children and parents in four families drawn from a larger qualitative study. The challenges of analysing accounts from several family members are highlighted. Case study families are described; and fragments of their interwoven individual and shared biographies, on which respondents regularly drew to legitimate risk-related beliefs and practices, are outlined. The dynamic, fluid and contingent nature of risk construction and reconstruction in everyday family life is discussed and three main themes explored: establishing ‘the bottom line’; assumptions, collusions and contradictions around age, siblinghood and time; and contextualizing risk in the conduct of others. The authors conclude that, just as with childhood itself, it is important also to contextualize ‘risk’ within socioeconomic, cultural and institutional frameworks; and that, for most children, their families both constitute one such context and mediate wider social structures.
